Despite Mother Nature's attempt to fool me into thinking it's still Summer, (recent sunshine and warm temperatures) I have succumbed. Time moves on. Calendars don't lie. It's definitely Fall. Thus, I have abandoned my afore mentioned hope of clinging to Summer. I am ready for cool mornings, sunny afternoons, and soups! To prove my commitment to the change of seasons, I got to work.
I:
(a) Cleaned out the gardens, (now I just need to get some spring bulbs)
 |
| MY veggie garden |
 |
| NORA JANE'S non-veggie garden This year she had strawberries and zinnias-- a beautiful combination |
(b) Collected the last of this year's bounty
 |
| Tomatoes anyone? REALLY! My family does NOT like tomatoes. We WON"T be growing them next year :) |
(c) Planted a tree
 |
| Baby Japanese Maple |
(d) Made Vegetable Soup with Nora. Nora who does NOT like vegetables. Nora who does, however, very much enjoy stirring the pot.
 |
| Stirring the vegetables that DID NOT come from our garden, but the local grocer. |
(e) Baked Pumpkin Spice Cookies
 |
| Delicious even without frosting. (Or so says Dave) But who would want to omit the frosting? |
(f) Bought a new North Face Vest (in black!) Perfect for Saturday morning soccer games!
(g) Put up a few Halloween decorations on the mantle, (so lame...not worth photographing)
And yesterday, I even,
(h) made Scarecrow Cookies for Nora's Girl Scout meeting.
So Goodbye Summer.
Hellooo Fall!
